Away
Softly she enters the path into wood
Dressed in summer's white linen, black hat unband
Toddlers follow, these of her motherhood
In bloom today trees ..dogwoods, cottonwood
She carries her butterfly net in hand
Softly she enters the path into wood
Tiny little girls become sisterhood
Drawn to nature are they, bugs, blooms, and
Toddlers follow, these of her motherhood
She spies butterflies in the thick hardwood
Escape today, play her spirit's demand
Softly she enters the path into wood
Away from the creekside where sometimes flood
Away into the scary woods not planned
Toddlers follow, these of her motherhood
Away she goes into the deep away
Stray away from everyday dismay
Softly she enters the path into wood
Toddlers follow, these of her motherhood
